Hello Everyone

This thread is for everyone applying for cabin crew with VA in January.

I'm applying with Melbourne and so far I've submitted my application on the 3rd jan, got invited for the vid on the 4th jan then invited for an assessment day on the 18th jan. Today 21st I got an email saying ive progressed and they want to do a reference check. I have updated my reference page and will keep everyone informed with my progress. From my knowledge at the assessment day they need to hire 450 new cabin crew staff Australia wide (said by an employee when we chatted) but there is a training school that has just started and they are not sure when the next school will be.

How is everyone else going?

I’m currently at reference check stage for Sydney base. Have they contacted your referees yet?

We were told that the next Sydney ground school will start on 18th Feb.

I interviewed mid Jan in Brisbane. I have now supplied my swimming info and awaiting information about where to go for my medical, it's been a few days and I am starting to get worried. Have you been for your medical or are you just sitting in the Talent pool too?

They contracted my references 5 days after my interview, so that was yesterday, both my references filled out the questions and submitted it last night so now im just waiting to hear back

Hi.. New one here. Just submitted my application for SYD base. I am older 50, gay guy. Wonder if they age discriminate. Working for an airline on the ground. How was the assessment day?

Is the assessment day a whole day. Any ideas where this is held in Sydney? Is it CBD or airport? I have only submitted my initial application yesterday just want to know the process. Cheers!!

The assessment days are usually around 3 hours (less if you get interview first).
Mine was from 1PM until 4PM at the Melbourne assessment day.
I consisted of:
-1PM- introductions, a bit about the company, expectations etc.
- 2PM - Group activity
- 2:30PM- Everyone was sent into the kitchen area, and each of the 4 recruitment staff called up one person each to do a 10 minute interview.
Once your interview is done, you are free to leave! I would recommend at the very beginning of the day, when they are collecting your resumes, to hand yours in last if you can.
This means its at the top of the pile and you get interview first. I made the mistake of handing my resume first, and was the very last person to be interviewed(about 90 minutes after the first person)
Hope this all made sense! Good luck!

i just got an email to do the video clip. What is the next stage after this if I pass. A bit nervous will think of the recording what to say. How fast will this process? Any ideas?? Many many thanks

The next stage is the assessment day!
Don’t stress about the video! It’s definitely the most awkward bit! When recording the video I started off with introducing myself.For why cabin crew? I would mention your love of customer service travel etc. For the why virgin question..its best to look at virgins values and maybe use those! From submitting the video to being invited to an assessment day was about 4 days! The assessment day was held about 2 weeks after the invite! Best of luck with it all :)

I was wondering if they’re extremely strict on tattoos ? If its a ‘ no visible tattoos at all ‘ or ‘ as long as its covered’. I am willing to cover it with makeup and wear the blazer constantly and most likely start lasering it off if given the position

Hi guys,
Hoping someone can answer a question for me

I've been to my assessment day and currently in the reference check stage. Wondering if I get a call about ground school then have to submit my swimming competency form? Or do you have to submit it before you are considered for a ground school? Not the greatest swimmer do really need to brush up my skills!
Tia XX

You will probably have to submit your water competency prior to getting an offer, at least that is how the process went for me.
Apparently you will also need to show that you can swim clothed during ground school and climb into a raft wet and clothed.

larking
30th Jan 2019, 22:10
They asked the question at the interview stage (one on one) 'do you have any visible tattoos'. I have a feeling they may be strict on it, but be honest and ask the question if you get through to that stage. All of the assessors were really lovely, not there to judge, just find out what sort of person you are :D

30th Jan 2019, 22:13
Hi Miss Jade. I am now at the Medical Stage. I will be offered a spot in the March 11 Ground School if I passed the medical, completed yesterday. Medical was easy, but at 41 I am obviously not without age related health issues, lol. Can't wait to see the contract come through via email. How is your process going? Cheers Larking

2nd Feb 2019, 10:06
Shortly after the contacted my reference they asked me to do the water competency check. I did that yesterday and today they told me I am now in the transit lounge waiting for a training school opening so getting pretty excited!

for me it went
application-60 sec vid- assessment day- reference check- water competency check-transit lounge

I applied 31st december 2018 and it's now 2nd of feb so getting to the transit lounge has only taking a month it's been quite prompt so far! Hoping a training school opens up for me soon, are u based in Melbourne Larking?

they said I will still have to undergo a medical assesment later

3rd Feb 2019, 18:40
Miss.jade that is amazing, congratulations. I’m really excited for you... I know the feeling. I’m Brisbane based. Apparently the process can take up to 12months that’s why they tell you not to quit your job until you have a contract. I’ve also heard they hold a ‘pool’ of successful candidates so they don’t have to continually recruit. Hopefully some positions open up in Melbourne soon. Did they discuss ground school dates at the interview stage? They did at mine. They said there would be three in the first quarter, but I’ve had word that they are now only doing two. I am really happy for you, it’s a very sort after role. I hope you love the job when you get it and fulfill a dream.

I was contacted today, there is a training school opening in march! im very excited, ive booked the medical assessment for next Wednesday and pending that ill be starting 7/3/18
But a question with the drug and alcohol screening, is it just a urine? (not a fan of needles! haha)
and what else do you have to do in the medical? im not too worried im a fit 24 year old but just curious in what $300 includes and how long it takes lol
do you receive the contract before training school?

at my interview I asked how many training schools in a year and she couldn't answer because it wasn't her department but they are moving quite promptly

Yay! That’s great. I’m not sure if all of the medicals are the same, but mine was just urine. The whole thing took around half an hour. Don’t stress it’s quite easy, they just make sure you’re functionallly able to perform the job. I received my contract yesterday, so that was about 4 working days after the medical. The information you’ll receive is more than just your contract, you need it prior to your start day. You also get to book a time to have your uniform fitted... it’s getting real now!!!!

8th Feb 2019, 13:21
Woohoo thank for the info
I'm hoping I receive the contract shortly after the medical so I can give work notice because everythings happening so quickly I was expecting to wait months haha. I also heard the CEO is changing in April so curious to see how that will impact the company

I've had to book in my RSA and I guess I need to organise the airport security? Did you have to do the airport security check before or after u signed the contract

Before you start training school the water test is to swim 50 meters and tread water for 3 mins. You get you local pool life guard to sign off a form virgin gives you. You swim in your bathers and can wear goggles if you want.

when you start traning school that's when you do further swimming training

Hi
Just been reading all the threads and hoping to get some help with the info on Sydney training.
I am just onto the swimming certificate and my interview was back in October. I told them I had commitments in January so was unable to do the next training, presuming there would be one straight after that.
However seems like there is nothing planned at the moment for the next training dates.
Does anyone know of any upcoming training dates in Sydney? If so do they mix domestic with regional candidates at the training school? Or is it totally separate?
Also I am about to do my swimming at the pool, does anyone know if you have to do 50 metres dressed at the training school too?
Be great to hear from anyone who is doing the Sydney application procedure.
Good luck

No word about training schools as yet! They are currently running 2 at the same time I believe! So thinking it will be at least April/May (if they are running them consecutively). Just a waiting game now I guess!! 😫

Wow that's crazy it's nearly been a year for you. My friend has just started ground school last Monday at Melbourne. Apparently with the new financial year out of the way things will start moving again. My other friend did wait up to nine months before getting call for Virgin a few years ago . It's so hard isn't it.. I applied back in march and have only had a email to say it can take 7 weeks or up to 7months. Have you done the recruitment day?

Just as a FYI. VA made an announcement today that it will cut 750 jobs and some routes and look at all possible cost cutting measures. So dont think any further cabin crew openings will be the priority at the moment.

Yep it's ridiculous, but more so for the lack of information. Yes I had my recruitment day in February so am just waiting to be called for medical and a start date. However, seeing as though there's apparently job cuts it's looking even more unlikely 😔

It’s really tough not knowing!

I’ve read the job cuts are corporate roles. Cabin crew is a very demanding job with high turnover and they literally can’t fly aircraft without crew, so you never know.

Hello 🙂 am still waiting for a recruitment day ,am also in Melbourne .I can't believe it has taken so long. I received a email a few months back to say it can take anything from 7 weeks to 7 months. My friend.who is crew with virgin waited nearly a year a few years back. I wonder how many others are in front of us before we get a chance!! I don't think we will hear anything this side of Christmas now. My friend is about to get his wings on Friday this week. He had people from Adelaide in his group so maybe they have brought others States together Instead of doing each state?! Who knows. It's very hard putting Thing's on hold like hoildays just incase I get called up.


Fingers crossed 🤞❣️

Hi there, is there anyone here that has progressed to the reference check stage with Virgin Australia and is still waiting to hear back? It’s been nearly two week since my referees submitted their forms and I still haven’t heard anything back from Virgin yet. Getting a little bit worried about it.

Ps: the assessment day was on September 19th

I emailed them last Monday and they responded by saying that there are no changes to the Sydney 2019 schedule. That being said it is unlikely there will be a ground school this year considering it takes 5-9 weeks and I doubt it would run over Christmas.
How long have you been in the talent pool for? I've been waiting since March 😔

Only a few weeks, I know it can be a super long wait though. I've just accepted a seasonal job offer - hopefully by the time the contracts up I'm in GS!

I received an email today about ground schools being scheduled in January. I expressed interest and received a phone call moments later inviting me to do my medical. Exciting times!!! Anyone else in the same boat ?

They're still only accepting applications for the Canberra Regional base.
